baby boy “shower”

the baby shower was a success! at least as far as i could tell. i just loved planning it, obviously i took the “shower” and “umbrella” theme, and ran with it. too cute, huh?

of course, once the party actually started, i forgot to take pictures of actual people…but i promise you there were people there. so anyways, here are some party pics:

well, these are the invites, but they were too cute not to share! i downloaded them free off the web from a magazine website, but i cannot find the link anymore! grr. let me know if you know where they come from, please!

the favors: sugar cookies with royal icing. these were so fun to make! about 1.5 hours to ice, but worth it. love the polka dots on the boots. stephanie thought of doing that! she helped soo much today with taking care of sadie, etc. thanks, steph!

Hi, I really love the rain theme. The decorations are amazing! I’m having a baby shower next month and was wondering how did you hang the umbrella’s from the roof. You can e-mail me at pariprincess143@gmail.com . Thanks.

Hey Jessica! I just stumbled across your blog and I thought – I know her! But I knew you as Jessica Lance from Gilroy. I think I was in YW when you were a Laurel. Anyway, your blog is awesome. I love that you have three girls. How fun! I love to sew, but I have six boys, so they don’t really appreciate much that I sew for them. Ha ha! I’ll have to check out your blog more often. Glad to see you are doing so well!

I know a few other people have already asked about how you hung the umbrella, but I didn’t see any answers. . . I’m curious how you did it! I’m planning a garden-themed bedroom for my sister and I thought hanging an umbrella with raindrops like you did would be a cute touch.
